“For I am about
to do something new.
See, I have already begun!
Do you not see it?
I will make a pathway through the wilderness.
I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19 NLT
Perhaps you all have heard the illustration of the
person who tries to drive forward by only looking in their rear view mirror.
It cannot be done!
Neither can you advance in life if all you do is
attempt to relive the past.
God is doing a new thing in our day.
That does not mean God is moving outside of His character
and His attributes.
Consider Acts 19:11 –
“God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,”
Now we all read the next verse and somehow tend to
limit the word ‘extraordinary’ to the method through which God healed people at
that moment in time through Paul’s ministry.
Handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul were
taken to the sick and God healed them.
God wants to do extraordinary miracles through each
and every one of His children, but the method He uses may not be recorded in
the book of Acts (or anywhere else in scripture).
How many times previously did we read of that method used
to heal?
How many times after is it spoken of in the bible?
Don’t be afraid of the ‘new and extraordinary’ God
wants to do.
Remember, He will never act contrary to His nature or
His attributes.
But He will move powerfully through anyone willing to
surrender their rear view living to the wide angle view of heaven coming to
earth!
